I played one game which I promptly lost, and then won nine games in a row. The first five games were surreal, because I wasn't really thinking about them. I was kind of thinking about other things, grocery shopping, getting to the post office, charging my cell phone, so my mind was not really on the game[s]. The second set of games is when the trouble started. These were a struggle. I had to pay attention to what I was doing, and just prior to playing them I had wondered if it was possible to "train" one's intuition.
On the surface it seems one's intuition should not
need training because after all, it is the antithesis of needing practice for improvement. Yet the games I played where I struggled seemed to even then my intuition came through in that I didn't make a wrong move. After that first loss, I could feel the learning curve, feel rel-learning taking place, which is what got me thinking about the whole
training intuition" thing.
In light of Alastan's video, I do wonder about the larger implications of what is going on, and whether or not this is a dead-end. I'll see if this little experiment bears fruit...
